MURRELLS INLET, SC (WMBF) – Law enforcement have released the name of the victim and the suspect at the center of a death investigation Friday in Murrells Inlet that began after the body of a woman was found onboard a boat shortly after a fire at a bait shop on the marshwalk.

According to information from the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office, the woman has been positively identified as 36-year-old Jessica Lynn Hill, of Murrells Inlet.

As a result of the investigation, Eric Justin Perry, 35, of Murrells Inlet, has been charged with one count of murder and one count of second-degree arson.

According to a press release from the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a fire at Perry's Bait and Tackle, located at 3965 U.S. 17 Business, in Murrells Inlet at 10 a.m. Friday.

Witnesses told police they saw a man leaving the area in a small boat shortly after the fire, the release stated. The GCSO's marine patrol unit, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Coast Guard began a search.

At 1 p.m., search teams reportedly found the boat and the man in question, the release stated. That man was said to be Perry.

Additionally, the woman's body was found onboard.
